A Critical Analysis of Kurdistan Movement Leadership in Iran

Description

The Research Paper, titled “A Critical Analysis of Kurdistan Movement Leadership in Iran”, authored by Keyhan Yusefi explores the complex history of Kurdish movements in Kurdistan following World War I. He examines Reza Shah’s assimilation policies and the subsequent resistance, including the uprising of Simko and the founding of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in 1945. Despite brief successes, such as the short-lived Republic of Kurdistan, Yusefi highlights the challenges posed by ideological divisions and political repression during and after the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The book underscores the need for a united Kurdish front to achieve self-determination, illustrating how modern technologies and social media serve as platforms for ongoing resistance and demands for political rights.
